Norway puts UN project funding on hold raising fears for plastics treaty talks

Move by largest donor to environment programme poses further uncertainty for already troubled negotiations

The largest donor to the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) has paused funding to the body before its revised budget on 12 May, triggering concern among member states and NGOs.

The news could carry significance for the already troubled plastic treaty negotiations being overseen by Unep. Since 2022 countries have been struggling to agree on how to deal with the volume of plastics being produced and used, a subject widely acknowledged to be one of the most serious environmental issues of the age, but despite six rounds of talks there has been no agreement in sight.

New England’s Revolution are a surprise contender: MLS weekend wrap

Also: James Rodríguez finally makes his mark with Minnesota, and a perfect stat line appears in the Bronx

There are points up for grabs in the East. Inter Miami tooled up to defend their MLS Cup title with uneven results. The Philadelphia Union have dropped them from the top of the heap to the cellar. The Ohio duopoly of Columbus and Cincinnati are below their previous standard, while Orlando City played the long game, conducting minimal business before Antoine Griezmann’s summer arrival.

Nashville SC have been the greatest beneficiary of The Great Points Migration in 2026, storming to the top of the East. But right behind them after a gritty 2-1 win over Philadelphia this week are the surprising New England Revolution, led by Marko Mitrović in his first MLS head coaching role after four years with the US youth national teams.

West Ham to lodge complaint with referee chiefs over disallowed goal against Arsenal

• Club plan to contact PGMO after Wilson strike ruled out

• They are angry about what they regard as inconsistency

West Ham intend to complain to the referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials over the decision to disallow Callum Wilson’s goal after David Raya was deemed to have been fouled by Pablo Felipe. The drama dealt another blow to their hopes of staying in the Premier League and the club plan to contact PGMO to seek clarity over why Pablo was penalised.

Although West Ham accept their complaint is unlikely to get them anywhere they are also expected to ask for the audio between the referee, Chris Kavanagh, and the video assistant referee, Darren England. Kavanagh was advised by England to go the pitchside monitor to review the incident.

Wondered where the culture wars would end? Try a white influencer suing a charity for not offering her an internship | Jason Okundaye

The GB News commentator Sophie Corcoran’s case against 10,000 Interns is part of a broader strategy of anti-DEI lawfare imported from Trump’s US

If our culture wars are to reach a nadir, it may be this single, absurd moment: a white female influencer is moving to sue a positive action charity over anti-white discrimination.

This is the basis on which the GB News commentator Sophie Corcoran is bringing a legal case against the 10,000 Interns Foundation, which helps to organise internship opportunities for young black people and other ethnic minorities. Corcoran says that she applied for a programme run by the foundation and the Bar Council, as she had been “exploring a legal career”, only to be rejected. The legal action claims that Corcoran faced a loss of employment opportunity, as well as discrimination in violation of the Equality Act.

Maracas in hand, my toddler wanders freely through a gallery of priceless ceramics

Visiting galleries was fine when my son was asleep in the sling – now he’s a boisterous explorer. It’s made me wonder: should we be sticking to exhibitions aimed at children?

Oh, for the days of the sleeping babe in the sling. It must have driven more seasoned parents mad when I waxed lyrical about how easy, how special, it was to bring my son with me to a gallery or museum. Now he’s a toddler who can change direction like a squirrel and is rather taken with the word “no”. And I’m beginning to wonder: should we be sticking to exhibitions and events targeted at children?

I’m not a joiner, and the thought of stay-and-plays and singalongs is enough to send me running. And yet, here I am, parking the buggy, unbuckling my son and walking with him, with some trepidation, towards a “family-friendly drop-in” at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
